Panel discussion set on ADUs

The city is planning a panel discussion Tuesday to give the public more information about Accessory Dwelling Units, or ADUs. Audience members may ask questions of the panel, which will comprise the chief appraiser of the Travis Central Appraisal District, the president of the Austin Neighborhoods Council, a builder of affordable secondary units and a University of Texas professor who specializes in secondary housing/affordability issues. The meeting is set for 5 p.m. Tuesday at Town Lake Center, 721 Barton Springs Road. Currently, the Planning Commission is scheduled to discuss ADUs at its April 28 meeting. The proposed code amendments it will consider are available online.
